If you do get an aro a helpful tip is use a ping-pong ball and put it on top of your water - helps with droop eye, always keeps the aro looking up

They should do fine together as long as the aro isn't small enough to get picked on/eaten. Also, if you get an aro, be prepared to upgrade in the near future, because a 5" silver aro, for example, would outgrow the 55 in about three months, possibly less depending on how heavily you feed it. And for the part about a small aro, the smallest I know of is either the asian or jardini aros, but both can reach 2-3'. A good alternative (if you can't upgrade) would be the African Butterfly Fish, they are another species of bonytongue fish so they kind of look like aros, but they only grow to about 5" max.Combs125;3860549; said:Hi Monster keepers! I introduced myself yesterday and I've spent the past day and a half looking at all the pictures of your beautiful fish. That being said I have a 55 gallon (grow tank i'll call it) Bichir tank and i'm wondering how well an arowana would get along in it. Are their arowana that dont get huge?
I'm also wanting to show off my fish, but for the life of my i cant fighure out how.. when i click on mhy gallery the site says i dont have access yet. Do i need to make 5 posts to be a monster fish member and have access to post my pics?? Please help!!!![]()
